Last week, a thread on Reddit garnered many comments.
testimonials from users who have managed to give a boost to their
iPhone by changing the battery of their device. This then suggested that Apple

iPhone performancedepending on the state of wear of the
battery.
The publisher of Geekbench, a well-known benchmark software, carried out
different tests with versions 10.2, 10.2.1 and 11.2 of iOS on several
machines, and the results tend to prove that the Cupertino firm
slows down its machines depending on the state of wear of the
battery.
Geekbench creator John Poole tested several iPhone 6s with three
versions of iOS, including 10.2.1, which includes the famous Apple patch fixing the
random shutdown problems for some iPhone 6s, but who would have
also has the effect of slowing down the processor clock frequency and therefore the
performance of affected iPhone 6s.
He recorded too significant performance differences between
the two versions of iOS for the same machines and he asserts "that Apple would have
introduces a changeto limit performance when the state of
the battery decreases beyond a certain point."
These performance issues are still present under iOS 11.2 and even
accentuated according to Geekbench tests, which is probably linked to the fact
that the update is more recent than one year and that therefore the capacity of the
iPhone 6s battery continued to degrade due to wear and tear
normal.
Finally, he observed that iPhone 7s would start to be affected from
of iOS 11.2, but not in a similar way to the iPhone 6s, since their battery
is more recent.
To check if your iPhone's battery wear is affecting its
performance, it is possible to perform several tests that we have
